A few weeks ago there was a post about Kagi[0] which is a paid search engine, I tried the trial and used all my searches, then immediately became a customer and have no regrets.

- t0bia_s 4y agoI used beta over month. It was great experience. But not that great for 10USD/month. Subsribtion business model annoys me quite a lot. I want be charged for actuall use.
- dtx1 4y ago10$/month for a search engine that is basically a nice google/bing Proxz is ludicrous. For that price you can just run your own searx instance
- Youden 4y agoKagi isn't a Google/Bing proxy, it's independent. Its quality is similar or better than Google/Bing.
- dtx1 4y agoFrom their FAQ > Our searching includes anonymized requests to traditional search indexes like Google and Bing as well as vertical sources like Wikipedia and DeepL or other APIs. It's a fucking google proxy with some nice css
- Youden 4y agoAh, I wasn't aware that they pull content from Google and Bing. However they do it, I get different search results from Kagi than I do from say DuckDuckGo and I have no reason to believe my privacy is compromised.
- juice_bus 4y agoI also really really do not want to self-host another thing. I can't overstate how frustrating Google's search quality has gone down, and DDG just wasn't cutting it.
- Youden 4y agoI know they can't do much about it but I really wish the default iOS search engine could be switched to Kagi. I could use another browser but the others I've tried are either compromised (Chrome) or buggy (Firefox, Kagi's own Orion browser).
